17th-Century Puritan Man - Historical Illustration & Context #125526 (License: Personal Use)

This finely rendered line drawing shows a Puritan man from the mid-1600s, dressed in characteristic sober clothing including a broad-brimmed hat, doublet, waistcoat, and full breeches. He carries a bound book-likely a Bible or theological treatise-and leans lightly on a walking stick, suggesting both intellectual pursuit and modest mobility. The cross-hatching technique conveys texture and depth, evoking woodcut or engraving styles common in early modern print culture.
